UPC / WiFi exteneder / PS3

    So I bought upc 120 mb broadband to use with my ps3 for Netflix, online games, browsing etc..

    Trouble is the modem was installed at the other end of the apartment and the ps3 barley picks up the signal and constantly signs out/disconnects.

    So I bought the TP link (TL-WA850RE) WiFi extender to help me out. The extender works grand on my smart phone. But the ps3 still keeps disconnecting and singing out even at the new 100% signal.. Now I've moved the ps3 out beside the modem and it has no issues when its close to it. So obviously there's a distance issue.

    Wondering if anyone here knows of anything I can do for this problem as I don't fancy paying 80 quid for UPC yo install another connector point in the room (also moving my set up out to where the modem is not an option as I share)

    Thanks in advance

    Oh have not seen these replies till now.

    After a bit of an ordeal I ended up getting a new UPC modem as it turns out the one they gave me was old as balls.

    Have not had an issue with the latest one, it works perfectly with my Wifi extender and I have been on my PS4 with no bother ever since.

    Pretty sure the first modem I had was one the installer found out the back of his van.
